Ok, here's my thing....... I agree with almost every post you make, rarely do I find myself having differing opinions with. Having said that I agree with alot of things your saying. But, something I do NOT agree with and will never do as long as I have a voice, fingers, or anything to voice my thoughts with is negatively comment on my Coach, university, or the fans of the University of Kentucky. It's just something I will NOT do. I know alot you might think that's dumb or stupid or whatever, but to me UK is sooo much more than just a college or basketball team. To me a fan should always stand beind his team and coach and untill the powers at be decide to make a change, they should keep their unhelpful negativity to themselves. Now I'm not saying we should all just play dumb and act like there is not a problem, because obviously there is. Is it our coach, athletic director, players, president, or even past coaches? Well thats yet to be seen, but shouldn't we all just take this one on the chin and ride out the storm and see if Coach Gillispie can put UK back on top of the "current" basketball world? I think so! Honestly, as a TRUE BLUE CAT fan I consider my self spoiled, we all should! Just to be a part of UK basketball, no matter how small I consider a blessing. We are the winningest program of all time and have SEVEN Nat'l titles. I know, I know this is the present not the past right? But, Look at Carolina in the 90's the has some plain terrible teams, and well they're back, and I'm sure we'll get back on top as well. Nobody wants to bring another banner back to the bluegrass more than me, and I know you all want immediate results but it's just not gonna happen that way. Next year I think we will all have a much better Idea of how things are really going untill then lets all do what true fans should do and support our team!



And if I've said it once I've said it a million time The University of Kentucky Fans are the absolute BEST in the world!!!!!! Where else do you get this kind of passion?

What a great post.:Clap:

I stated that I'll feel that Barnhardt should give Gillispie another season. I just want Gillispie to show the respect that our program deserves! I'd like to see him treat the media with respect and blame himself for the losses and not the players.

Another thing, you say UNC had bad years in the 90s, well they went through two coaches after legendary coach Dean Smith retired. Since Pitino has left Kentucky, we have went through one coach being Tubby Smith, who had a less than stellar career at Kentucky, but he was not putting banners in the rafters like we had hoped for. I'm not saying that we should fire Gillispie, I was just giving you a bit of a history lesson.

Gillispie has yet to prove to the fans that he is commited to this program as he has yet to even sign his contract.
